From the episode: 

• Outrage culture: a tendency to be easily offended
• Social media plays a big role in outrage
• Fake news spreads 6x faster on social media than real news
• Fact check before sharing something to prevent being an evangelist for something that is false
• The 24-hour news cycle enhances outrage
• We can become desensitized to true outrage
• “You cannot hate a people and reach a people at the same time.” –Ed Stetzer
• Outrage culture is driven by emotion over reason
• Outrage culture is based on misinformation and false assumptions
• Outrage culture is destructive
• Righteous anger is aimed at the glory of God while outrage is aimed at the glory of self
